I took the time to get gold in all of the events and play through all the DLC and I really enjoyed it! Fun MX game if you're looking for a more arcadey feeling than a true sim. There are flaws, but playing this after it fully released with all of the content as a casual game to pop in and out of for a few races over the course of a year I felt it served its purpose well.
2004
This is such a classic when it comes to Flash games for me. Playing this nearly 20 years later was still fairly entertaining to pass the time.

Nah this broke my heart me and DONTNOD are about to fight
I really loved my time with this game. While I would've liked more depth in the side characters the gameplay as a whole was so satisfying. I thought that the pawn system might feel overwhelming or confusing to me but it was actually really enjoyable and enlisting other player's pawns was a great feature. Another thing that took me by surprise was the Dark Arisen DLC that's included with this version of the game. I thought I would've disliked Bitterblack Isle since I'm not a big dungeon fan but something about it really hooked me in and I went from almost skipping it to getting all of the achievements for it.
On the Steam PC port which is the version I played, I did experience quite a bit of crashing when loading my save while playing, and while I was ultimately able to continue playing game it's something to be aware of.

If you're familiar with the movie Pontypool, this may be up your ally since it draws inspiration even having a reference to it in the game. Otherwise I really enjoyed the concept and format in which the puzzles were presented.
While I didn't love it as much a 999, this was still a fantastic entry that continued the series.

I'm not super into platformers but have been wanting to check this one out for awhile. Really beautifully crafted game. I'm especially fond of the level design and the way you're guided through them. As someone not as experienced with the genre I can often get frustrated or confused when the direction isn't clear and I felt like the developers did a good job at directing me where to go without it feeling too forced. The soundtrack is also fantastic.

The intro to episode 2 is probably one of my favorite things I've ever seen in a game and I thoroughly enjoyed my time playing.
I waited so long for this game to come to PC, and it was worth it. Really nailed giving the player the feeling that they are Spider-Man. Only complaint is by the end of the DLC some of the content felt repetitive (I'm a proud Screwball hater) and I would've liked to see more side missions instead.
This is one of the best RPGs I have ever played. I spent 10 months with it and it immersed me in a way few other games have. I am sad that I've finished it and I loved the gameplay, story, and my god that soundtrack is incredible!
2009
I played through the PS3 HD Collection version of the game. I enjoyed the actual gameplay a lot more than I thought I would. I've been wanting to check out the God of War franchise for a while, and for the most part, the first game still holds up. The platforming in the path to hades level drove me insane though it was harder for me than the final boss battle. I also really liked the treasures included (viewing these was not counted as part of my time completing the game) and it was nice to see a more interactive version of the development process like an area with rejected monsters and models.
I love logic puzzles so this was a great game for me since this was a clever way to present one in a video game. Every time I successfully solved something it felt incredibly satisfying. Any time I made a connection it made me feel like a genius. The visual style felt really unique, and the soundtrack was fantastic. The game deserves the praise it's gotten.
I enjoyed this a lot more than I thought I would. The environments were gorgeous and the gameplay was fun and engaging!

One of the best gaming experiences I've ever had. Really well made and immersive. This has been in my backlog for years and I'm glad I finally got around to playing it. Not too much I can say without spoiling things, but this feels like such a loving creation and a work of art.
Retroactively reviewing this to say that it is a must play and I've thought about it often since playing it in 2022.
